Global WAN Services

Gartner defines global WAN services as POP-based services supporting multiregional corporate networks across geographies. These services address enterprise challenges such as changing working practices, accelerating digital and cloud transformations, and improving the agility of enterprise networks. Providers own and operate their own global core networks and sell directly to the client. Services include transport-centric/unmanaged, managed, co-managed, or network as a service via a monthly recurring fixed or usage-based model. Core transport services are often complemented by ancillary services like carrier-based cloud interconnect, managed software-defined WAN (SD-WAN), SASE or managed dual-vendor SASE with SD-WAN paired with SSE security. Services are measurable and consumable through web-based customer interfaces via portals and programmable APIs. As digital business initiatives increase the demands on the enterprise network, enterprises rely on global WAN services to deliver global and regional fixed, wide-area networking connectivity. These services consist of backbone network transport and last-mile access connections to deliver connectivity to individual enterprise sites, such as large or remote/branch office locations. Although these are core to the offer, service providers also offer more transformational capabilities enabled by the underlay service network.

Managed Hybrid Cloud Hosting, Asia/Pacific

Gartner defines managed hybrid cloud hosting (MHCH) as a standardized, productized offering that combines a cloud-enabled system infrastructure platform — consisting of a pool of compute, network and storage hardware — with cloud infrastructure framework software to facilitate self-service and rapid provisioning. In addition to offering this service from cloud infrastructure located in its own data center, the provider must offer a choice of using a hyperscale public infrastructure as a service (IaaS) provider or an Asian country-specific, large-scale IaaS provider. The infrastructure platform should be located both in a service provider's data center for the cloud-enabled system infrastructure (CESI) platform and in an Asia country for the public IaaS platform. It also requires the use of a standardized deployment across all service provider customers and leverages a single codebase.

Managed Hybrid Cloud Hosting, Europe

Gartner defines managed hybrid cloud hosting as a standardized, productized hosting offering that combines a cloud-enabled system infrastructure (CESI) platform — consisting of a pool of compute, network and storage hardware — and cloud infrastructure framework software to facilitate self-service and rapid provisioning. It also includes documented and standardized management for either a hyperscale public IaaS platform or a European-country-specific, large-scale IaaS platform in a local language with managed services. The infrastructure platform should be located both in a service provider's data center for the CESI platform as well as in a European country for the public IaaS platform. The geographic focus of this market is Europe.

Midmarket Unified Communications as a Service, North America

Unified communications as a service (UCaaS) for the midmarket — defined as organizations with between 100 and 999 employees, and typically $50 million to $1 billion in revenue — includes cloud solutions intended to improve user productivity and enhance collaboration. Gartner defines UC solutions as offerings that facilitate the use of multiple enterprise communications methods to achieve those aims. UC solutions integrate communications channels (media), networks and systems, as well as IT business applications and, in some cases, consumer applications and devices. Cloud delivery of UC functions is characterized as provisioning services on shared infrastructure (for example, data centers, racks, common equipment and blades). Cloud delivery also uses shared tools (for example, provisioning, performance and network management tools); per-user-per-month pricing; and elasticity to dynamically add and remove users.

Public Cloud IT Transformation Services

Gartner defines public cloud IT transformation services (PCITS) as services designed to deliver transformational outcomes via the utilization of cloud-native professional and managed services. It includes migration, modernization and the building of new transformational solutions on public hyperscale cloud infrastructure and platform services. Organizations seeking to use public clouds such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and similar platforms engage with providers in this market to realize the greatest transformational benefits. PCITS transforms client applications, workloads and data to the public cloud to achieve their clients’ business outcomes. It makes primary use of cloud-native tools and manages IT operations in the public cloud. It encapsulates cloud management, optimization and modernization to continuously manage reliability, scalability, interoperability and more.

Strategic Cloud Platform Services

Gartner defines strategic cloud platform services (SCPS) as standardized, automated, public cloud offerings integrating infrastructure services (e.g., computing, network and storage), platform services (e.g., application, data and value-added services such as AI/ML) and transformation services (resources to help customers adopt cloud-oriented IT delivery models). Although owned by the service provider, infrastructure and platform services may be hosted in providers’ infrastructures or customers’ data centers. Services should be elastically scalable, metered by use, and consumable via web-based interfaces and programmable APIs. Transformation programs may be delivered by automated, self-service interfaces, and managed interactions facilitated by account teams/partners.
